		It was known as the Cosmo AP in Japan, and sold internationally as the Mazda RX-5, though in some markets its piston powered counterpart was called the Mazda 121 (a name later applied to Mazda's subcompact model) when not equipped with a rotary engine.
		All were GT cars, with the first proving a successful launch for the Mazda Wankel engine and acting as a halo vehicle for the new Mazda brand.

	Mazda RX-8 - RSportsCars.com
		The 2005 Mazda RX-8 is available as either a 238-horsepower model fitted with a six-speed manual transmission, or a 197-horsepower model fitted with a four-speed automatic with Sport Shift, which incorporates steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a Formula 1-style driving experience.

		Through the use of advanced ergonomic research, Mazda engineers determined improper seating posture to be a cause of driver fatigue and built in optimum support in the front seats to help counteract discomfort.

		Two new MZR family engines—a 2.0-litre for all global markets and an additional 1.8-litre for Europe—power the all-new Mazda MX-5.

	Car and Driver Magazine - Mazda RX-8 - January 2003
		In the process Mazda made the naturally aspirated 13B twin-rotor Renesis engine about as powerful (at a provisional 247 horsepower) as the previous-generation turbo motor.
		Mazda engineers simply moved the exhaust ports (there are no valves in a rotary engine) from where they had been on the peripheral face of the rotor housing and placed them on the side plates.
		There's a fairly long straightaway on the handling course at Mazda's Miyoshi proving ground that encourages a bit of leg stretching, but the sweeping left-hander that leads to it is blind because of hedges that surround much of the track.

	The Australian: Mazda RX-8 [October 16, 2003]
		It is both smaller and lighter than the rotary in Mazda's previous two-seat RX-7 sportscar.
		Mazda, in the meantime, was doing its own development work and the first Mazda rotary debuted in Japan in 1967 in the Cosmo Sport.
		The twin-rotor engine in the RX-8 is equivalent to a 1.3-litre four-cylinder, yet delivers the power of a large-capacity V6, making it ideal – and a point of difference – for Mazda's premium sportscar.

	Mazda RX-7
		The 2004 model year brought Mazda and rotary enthusiasts the all new Mazda RX-8 which had a look similar to that of the RX-7, and of course, the rear wheel drive rotary drivetrain, although no factory turbo option was available.
		This car was the 1979 Mazda RX-7, and while released in 1978, the car was technically considered to be a 1979 model.
		While it would take some five years of development for the X605 to be released to the public, sometime in March of 1978 the first officially named Mazda RX-7 rolled off of the assembly lines in Ujina, Japan.

	Inside Line: Mazda RX-7 and RX-8 -
		Mazda could have played it safe with the second-generation RX-7 by stretching a new skin over the familiar chassis, tweaking the engine for a bit more power and throwing in a more stylish interior.
		Mazda sold its R-100, RX-2, RX-3 and RX-4 series of rotary-powered coupes, sedans and wagons as (according to the ads) the small cars that went "hmmmmmm," while all the piston-powered others sounded like bed springs being churned in a blender.
		The RX-7 does, however, redeem itself by registering a touch more velocity at the end of the quarter-mile (84.3 mph versus the 280Z's 83.8).

	Mazda RX-7: Part 4
		Mazda addressed this need and designed the third-generation RX-7 with an electronic knock sensor that carefully listens for the early tell-tale signs of detonation and reacts by retarding ignition timing.
		In the previous installments, Mostly Mazda carefully secured (with small tie wraps) the proverbial "rat's nest" of vacuum lines that hide under the RX-7's intake manifold.
		Mostly Mazda also replaced the well-used, semi-clogged fuel filter with a factory-fresh unit in an effort to minimize the chances of fuel starvation.

		It shared the Luce/929 chassis, replacing the R130 in October of 1972, and was produced through October 1977.

	Mazda RX-8: 7 + 4 = 8?
		Personally, I wish Mazda would have skipped the rear seats and doors and just called this thing the new RX-7.
		Mazda gave the RX-8 a very aggressive shape, and only time will tell if it’s perhaps too aggressive to age as nicely as they’d like.
		The RX-8 needs to function as a decent 4-passenger vehicle, or we’d say much of Mazda’s R&D was all for naught.
